Abstract
Dynamic inter-organizational business processes are necessary to enable the flexible creation of partnerships in areas such as e-commerce and supply-chain-management. Although many information system architectures for the support of static inter-organizational business processes exist, such architectures are still not available for supporting dynamic inter-organizational business processes. In this paper the special requirements created by dynamic inter-organizational business processes will be analyzed and the contributions of existing approaches and web services evaluated. Based on the paradigm of the composite application, an architecture designed to support dynamic inter-organizational business processes has been developed and will be introduced.
